Hoo-hoo baroo?: Erica; | Nov 20, 2008 at 02:21 PM

someone pleez to translate? it really looks like it only does the blinking and head tilting things. maybe the secret japanese type can tell us more!: mish; | Nov 20, 2008 at 02:23 PM

Please tell me I'm not the only one who looks at the white owl and thinks, "Hedwig!"?: fish eye no miko; | Nov 20, 2008 at 02:32 PM

I was OK till they showed the wing adjustment. That keeeled me. The white one is SO teh "O RLY?" owl.: lurkertype; | Nov 20, 2008 at 02:39 PM

I think this thing creeps me out on a Furby level. My parents got me one for christmas one year and I swear the thing did evil things when I was asleep. Heck we (my brother and I) even ran it over with the lawn mower and the thing still worked...in fact it said "Owwww" Yeah, the furby found its way into the cow pasture that night never to be seen or heard from again.: Jmper; | Nov 20, 2008 at 02:47 PM

If it was a kitty usb I'd be on the website credit card in hand to buy 2 of them. Owl, not so much. Creepy toys? When I was 3 a family friend gave me a clown doll that was about 2 feet tall and it made a scary "ha ha ha!" sound when you turned it's bright red nose. That thing was NOT allowed to stay in my room - day or night, it scared the Jeebus out of me.: Laura; | Nov 20, 2008 at 02:53 PM

@Laura: Check out this USB kitty: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HulKbgN1xqU And you can buy it here: http://usb.brando.com.hk/prod_detail.php?prod_id=00179: Not That Mike The Other Mike; | Nov 20, 2008 at 03:01 PM

this wouldn't be THE JAPANESE again would it???? Must have. gotta have the peenk, and maybe the white, oh crap, all four then... {where did I hide that visa card from me-self?}: scooterpants; | Nov 20, 2008 at 03:01 PM

Am I the only one who thinks the pink one looks like a piece of bubble gum?? Owl-flavored bubble gum!! Blech!!!!!: Kari; | Nov 20, 2008 at 03:03 PM

That reminded me of the owl on "Clash of the Titans" http://www.theseventhvoyage.com/bubo.htm http://www.theseventhvoyage.com/bubomovie.htm: Melissa; | Nov 20, 2008 at 03:11 PM

No Peenk available. so, I got Brown. very cute. yes it does remind one of the owl from 'clash of the titans' (one of my all time fav-fun movies by the way.): scooterpants; | Nov 20, 2008 at 03:21 PM

USB chameleon!!! with flicking tongue action and scary googly eyes!: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DdF8TB6pz5I&feature=related: cheryl; | Nov 20, 2008 at 03:24 PM

Yep, owl only blinks and baroos, albeit in both 'active' and 'sleep' modes. These must be fairly new, as I saw plenty of "humping dog" usb devices, but none of these cuddly Bubo types. I already had a heck of a time finding the cutesy matches (with final success!)- don't know if I could spend another few hours searching for these too.: chanpon; | Nov 20, 2008 at 03:29 PM

He can see my soul....: copugchick; | Nov 20, 2008 at 03:31 PM

I bought two immediately when I saw this. One for me and one for someone special for christmas!!: Boomkin; | Nov 20, 2008 at 04:09 PM

why?: pny; | Nov 20, 2008 at 04:12 PM

I want the pink one! I want it with a tiara! *stomps foot*: (the original) Mel; | Nov 20, 2008 at 04:14 PM

The red eyes are freaking me out, man... (0:36) This (and the story of Jmpr's Furby) remind me of the gag gift of a "Tickle Me Elmo TMX" that was given to my boyfriend. (This was the most recent one, the one that would roll around on the floor then stand back up.) The damn thing started laughing one night. When we retrieved it to make it stop, we realized *IT HAD NO BATTERIES IN IT* ~shudder~: kat; | Nov 20, 2008 at 04:45 PM

check this one out... there is also a humping doggie... LOL http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=McOC47D9DIg&feature=related: Carmi; | Nov 20, 2008 at 04:47 PM

Oh, I want...but now that I've seen the USB Kitteh (thanks NTMTOM!)....I want an Owl that hoots!!!! (I have enough kittehs yelling at me!): Gail (the first one); | Nov 20, 2008 at 04:51 PM

This is cute, but what's the point? I mean, if something is going to take up my USB port, I want it to do something useful. Maybe I'm just in a poopie mood, but I don't get it.: Erin H; | Nov 20, 2008 at 04:51 PM

another cute but lame and none-useful product.: karen; | Nov 20, 2008 at 04:51 PM

This is cute, but what's the point? I mean, if something is going to take up my USB port, I want it to do something useful. Maybe I'm just in a poopie mood, but I don't get it.: Erin H; | Nov 20, 2008 at 04:51 PM

Just what I need, something to incite my kitties to attack my laptop screen! But it is cute, tho'...: TAJ; | Nov 20, 2008 at 05:03 PM

The little song in the commercial reminds me of the theme song to the TV version of The Babysitters Club. :): Vanessa; | Nov 20, 2008 at 05:11 PM

heh Erin- you were in a poopie mood twice there X2. sorry, hope ya feel better. its just cute that's all. mindless and cute. the usb cat is kinda irritating, the usb humping dog is vulgar kinda, but i like the pole dancer and the chameleon. excellent.: scooterpants; | Nov 20, 2008 at 05:41 PM

creepy. I had this fur-real pet, and it would randomly make these really weird sounds. it didn't even sound like the dog it was supposed to be. i buried under a mound of stuff. recently my mom found it, and turned it on. it scared the bejabbers out of my lil' sis's chihuahua.: katybug; | Nov 20, 2008 at 06:02 PM

Karen how is it NOT useful? It's an owl that BLINKS. You could turn it on and show your friends or coworkers, you could stick a post it to it, you could draw on it with a sharpie, you could take a picture of it and send it in to cuteoverload, the possibilities are endless!: Jess <3's Sandy; | Nov 20, 2008 at 06:02 PM

one more thing for people with too ch money and not enough sense to see this coming.cute,but useless and stupid.tell me someone,can this thing be taught to answer spam?: PACAT; | Nov 20, 2008 at 06:25 PM

Why on earth would you want to automatically answer spam?: Theo; | Nov 20, 2008 at 06:55 PM

you should see some of my spam!!!!!!!!!!: PACAT; | Nov 20, 2008 at 07:08 PM

No thanks; got all I need.: Theo; | Nov 20, 2008 at 07:12 PM

Damn you Japan, for ever so cutely handing us our asses yet again! *shaking fist eastward*: LOLBabyMama; | Nov 20, 2008 at 07:24 PM

LOL at Jess <3's Sandy!!! Teh possibilities are endless! You could even hang 2 paperclips on the ears, for when you randomly need to clip papers together. What about the wing action? You might be able to tuck a pen under there!: Elaine Wilson; | Nov 20, 2008 at 07:25 PM

Then I just posted that and hehehe at LOLBabyMama!! You guys crack me up on the comments sections these days!: Elaine Wilson; | Nov 20, 2008 at 07:26 PM

Cute, but boring! It would be different if it was like a webcam or something...: Gwenny; | Nov 20, 2008 at 07:30 PM

I got mine at loft in Japan, they also had the cute matches there. Best store ever: Danielle; | Nov 20, 2008 at 10:02 PM

NEEEEEEED i would have to get the strawberry flavoured one ! (plink plink owl sockets.) I agree about the USB kitty it would freak my cats out and I get enough meowing off them :>: Charlie; | Nov 20, 2008 at 11:04 PM

Hey tell me where can I buy that cute thing here?: emirie; | Nov 20, 2008 at 11:15 PM

Jeeh!! I got the grey one :) Yes, they only tilt their head and blink with their eyes. After a while the make some noise, but what the hell, they are super cute! (got one at work): Pascale; | Nov 21, 2008 at 12:09 AM

You can get them at strapya-world.com: Pascale; | Nov 21, 2008 at 12:10 AM

Hehe, it´s cute, but after a few days it would just annoy me I think. ;): Barbarella von Fluffenstein; | Nov 21, 2008 at 01:51 AM

Very cute, but $20?? Ouch!: lainey; | Nov 21, 2008 at 05:15 AM

I love these little things, but they totally missed the boat by NOT making them into mini storage drives. Maybe just 256, or even 128 mb.: Katie; | Nov 21, 2008 at 05:27 AM

http://www.strapya-world.com/categories/12_1504_4753.html ...wait, what??: Theo; | Nov 21, 2008 at 07:18 AM

I immediately bought the three that were available. I love owls!: The Button; | Nov 21, 2008 at 07:25 AM

These owls are not new - they've been around a while. I love love love owls and these are adorable (totally Hedwig!), but ultimately I decided not to get one because I agree with Erin about the wasted USB port space. INSTEAD I got a Nohohon! Solar powered, just as cute, and doesn't suck electricty or hog a port. Just sits in my window and smiles at me while I work - a friend who used to work for Toyota said that the bosses in Japan required all employees to have them on their desks as a stress reliever. More info: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NoHoHon-Zoku and see them in action: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NRmYKmqzEME: k8; | Nov 21, 2008 at 07:53 AM

Hee! I've had the little pink one for a while. It was my bday present to myself. It's sitting on its stump on top of my iMac (since the Mac is too wide for the clip). Does it have a point? No, but currently all of my friends and my fiancé are elsewhere for a few months, and sad as it is, it's good company. And yes, it just tilts its head left and right and blinks. I got mine from ThinkGeek. I named mine "Pants.": Nikki; | Nov 21, 2008 at 07:58 AM

Also- regarding the USB port issue. The USB on my Mac keyboard is never strong enough to power anything, but it is strong enough to power the owl. So you may be able to just use a port you weren't able to/couldn't use anyway.: Nikki; | Nov 21, 2008 at 08:00 AM

Hahahah, that is so cute! I wish it hooted, though. :D My coworker said if I get one, though, it's all over..... I'm not sure what he meant, but I believe him O.O;;: MaggieBee; | Nov 21, 2008 at 08:22 AM
